A sign on the Lioness line (recently renamed - Euston to Watford line, assures us that the stations are manned, or womaned, or personed, from opening time until closing time.
However, returning to Watford you often have to get off at Harrow & Wealdstone and sit on the chilly draughty station late at night. The waiting room is closed.
We were under the mistaken impression that there was never any warm waiting room. However, returning from an event in London mid-afternoon, I found the station had a waiting room open.

The door sign told me that unfortunately it closes mid-evening, so never open when you return from a night out in central London.
At least it is open for some of the day.
Good News - Wealdstone Station Shop
The other good news discovery for daytime travellers is the shop on Harrow & Wealdstone station. The stock is not very varied, but it has some essentials, such as sandwiches, chocolates.
Good News - Stepfree access
Another piece of good news is about stepfree access. First, the current accessible stations are marked on station route maps. (For those who find steps challenging but are not challenged by small print and mysterious secret symbols. You can find step free access on stations online, at home, and on your phone if you want to check up while travelling.
More stations are being given step free access. So keep up your spirits and keep watching for good news updates.
